Your both at fault, partly for just being there. His fault for making a U- turn with out looking, and yours for not voicing “on your left” as you approached, which might have prevented his move, and subsequent collision, in the first place. Always announce on your left, or right depending where the the person, or persons being overtaken are. Yeah, chances are they will move the wrong way, but at least they’ll know your there.
Then there is always the little bell you could ring, but for someone who has been around jet engines for almost 40 years, I’ve found them quite useless, to the detriment of a few when passing me.
Just idle curiosity, how’d the other guy and his bike fare?
